It's time for some of my favorites memes...I am linking up with Green Day , Skywatch Friday and NF Winged.
It is Thanksgiving Day and I am spending the day with my hubby, son and family. After serving fifteen for dinner, we should be able to chill and check out my birds and sky. These are some shots taken thru-out this past week. A pretty sunset, a few kinglets from our walk on the fireroad, a couple of Brown Creepers and the vultures making their way back to roost for the night.

A Ruby-crowned Kinglet above and another open winged kinglet below. LOL, if you look real hard you can see the ruby crown on the kinglet in the top of the photo.

I have been wanting to see a Brown Creeper, and luckily in this day I saw two. Can you find the two Brown Creepers in the shot above? They blend so well with the tree.

I always love seeing these pretty green ferns growing along the fireroad where we walk.

A cropped shot of a Golden-Crowned Kinglet. The sky is a beautiful blue, it was a lovely day for a walk on the fireroad. The Kinglets are quick movers like the warblers, they did not stay still for a second.

These trees are around my neighborhood and on the fireroad, not sure what kind of trees they are but they seem to be the last to drop their pretty yellow leaves. I love this shot looking up at the blue sky, yellow leaves and the tops of the pine trees.

Another day the vultures are making their way back to the woods to roost for the night.

A pretty sunset to end the day! I am looking forward to a long weekend for the Thanksgiving holiday. I am one of the few people NOT going shopping on Black Friday. Will you be going shopping the first thing on Friday morning?
I hope everyone in the US is enjoying their Thanksgiving Day and to all those not in the USA have a great day!
Thanks to the gracious host Fiona of with Green Day

Great post, Eileen! The ruby crown in the first shot catches the light - very nice! Kinglets are one of my most elusive species. I am always thrilled to see one, same with the Brown Creepers. Happy Thanksgiving!

Moments Before Sun Down
Creepers - or Tree Creepers as we used to call very similar birds in the UK - are splendid little things. We dont have them here - but I can only imagine how hard they would be to photograph.

Olá amiga, lindíssimas fotos e pude ver as duas aves uma do lado direito e outra do lado esquerdo da árvore:))! Lindo céu, belíssima vegetação! Ontem meu filho que vive aí no seu País em NY foi convidado para celebrar com amigos portugueses o Dia de Acção de Graças. Obrigada pela sua visita. Abraços. Ailime (Portugal)

I'm sitting here enjoying post-Thanksgiving pie and coffee while looking at your wonderful images. Thank you for sharing - I can almost feel the crisp autumn air. Now if I can just get my kinglets to hold still for a photo......
Os pássaros relaxam mesmo, contemplá-los, muito mais! Sei bem o que é servir tantas pessoas! Cansa! Lindas imagens! Beijos!
Looks like you spent a fine Thanksgiving day. Nice shots of the birds and what a lovely sunset!!
Depois de toda trabalheira, nada como apreciar os lindos detalhes da mãe-natureza e seus filhotes.
Imponente paisagens, vida-verde-força!
Bom fim de semana.
Bjos,

Hi Eileen, Glad you have seen such a nice array of birds - even the buzzards! The ferns are nice, too. Have a wonderful weekend!
Beautiful sky photos and birds! Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful..
I really loved the last photo!
Those are some stunningly colorful shots. A gorgeous Thanksgiving!
No, I didn't go shopping on Black Friday either. Lovely post Eileen, always love your pictures. I'm impressed you cooked for 15. I cooked for eight and was absolutely exhausted, but it was so much fun. Happy Sunday to you and have a great week.
Eileen,
Suas fotos sempre lindas demais!
Pessoas como você que amam a natureza e tudo que nela existe, são acompanhadas pelos mais belos pássaros.
Hoje, fui num loja de jardinagem que abriu há poucos dias. Vi tanta coisa linda para enfeitar jardim e para atrair os pássaros que lembrei-me de você, por causa de sua paixão por eles. Incrível como isso pode acontecer entre pessoas que não se conhecessem pessoalmente.
Um lindo e abençoado final de semana.
Fabulous photos! I love the greens. We are so brown these days.
Cheers from Cottage Country!
